Systematically studying the resonance in a high quality sample for carrier densities, n, between 1.8 and 5.7 x 10^{10} cm^-2, we find maxima in resonance peak frequency, f_pk, vs magnetic field, B. L, the domain size, or correlation length of Wigner crystalline order, is calculated from f_pk. For each n, L vs \\nu tends at low \\nu toward a straight line with intercept; the linear fit is accurate over as much as a factor of 5 range of \\nu. We interpret the striking linear behavior as due to B compressing the electron wavefunctions, to alter the effective electron-impurity interaction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-04-03T21:09:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dimensional electron system", "wigner crystal order", "high magnetic field", "correlation length", "fractional quantum hall series" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
